How I can create a Jira User that can only create issues but can't read (write only user) ?

[Stefano Ansaldi]

Because of customer security reason I would like to configure a user , if is possible that can only access to the APIs and not to the GUI , that has "write only" access to a Project or Projects and that can receive webhook notifications only about status changes (or only Reject and Close).

Hi Stefano,

just a quick guess:

Give ONLY "Create Issue" permissions to that user on the project. The user still needs a license to create an issue. The user will be able to login to Jira & see the project, but he will not be able to see/browse the issues. Pretty sure the user will not be notified about the changes unless he gets "Browse project" permissions needed for viewing issues.

Didn't try that, though...

Ok , maybe I have to be more precise in my question : I would like to have a user that cannot login in the gui but can only use the API to create issue.

Let's say a technical user , blind with just write permission.

You can't - the access is not done by route, it's by user.  If a person can use the system, they can use the gui and REST api.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation Nic .

Can I then work on the permissions in order to use only certain APIs ?

Again, if a person can use the system, they can use the gui and REST api.
